What have they blown up lately? Not much. Just a few abortion clinics. I acknowledged that the distribution of Christians among the categories was different. There are probably as many Christians on the Taliban end of the scale as there are radical Muslim secularists. The categories may not be populated equally but they do seem to exist for both religions. It seems to me that Christianity as a whole, has made its accomodation to the modern world a couple of hundred years ago. Indeed. As I mentioned in am earlier post to someone who was commenting on the barbarity re the contractors, we are comparing peoples at two different stages of development. And you see no difference between Christianity and Islam? They seem very similar to me--other than the huge difference in modernity, which is primarily a function of time. Christianity has reached the point in its modernity of debating the propriety of ordaining gays. Islam is a long, long, long way from that. But I don't see much difference in the underlying religious components. A couple of hundred years from now almost all of Islam will have quit hitting corpses with shoes and, instead, be facing their equivalent of gays in the mosque. It seems to me.
